Description

A much prized address, 1st-class specification throughout, and the perfect blend of period features with modern amenities combine to make this EXTENDED FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOM CHARACTER PROPERTY the ideal family home and a truly exceptional opportunity. Now a dedicated Conservation Area (No. 29), tree-lined Essex Road runs between Winter Road and Clovelly Road, just south of Goldsmith Avenue. This consistently sought-after residential location is moments only from Milton Park recreation space, whilst placing a wider range of public amenities within a radius of some one mile, including: Southsea Seafront, main-line station, St Mary's Hospital, bus services, The Pompey Centre, local shops and eateries, and various schools (the nearest being Wimborne Primary). This stylish and attractive inner-terrace Edwardian residence has brick elevations under a modern tiled roof, the striking facade incorporating gabled double bay window.
